Meet the Architect of the JOBS Act & How Crowdfunding Has Changed Capital w/ Woodie Neiss (Ep. 79)

I sat down with Sherwood “Woodie” Neiss—the policy architect behind the JOBS Act and author of Investomers. Woodie shared how investment crowdfunding is giving startups and retail investors a new path forward, bypassing traditional venture capitalists.

3 Takeaways:

• Crowdfunding Is Maturing. Since the JOBS Act’s implementation, over 8,300 companies have collectively raised nearly $3B.

• Diversity & Access Are Up. In the last month alone, 50% of crowdfunded companies had either a woman or minority founder. Investment crowdfunding is opening doors for underrepresented entrepreneurs—and for investors who wouldn’t have qualified under the old rules.

• Investomers = Influence + Investment. Startups can now turn passionate customers into “investomers,” who do more than just buy—they market, advocate, and help shape the company’s success.
